EAST RUTHERFORD – Tom Coughlin equated the Giants organization to a business, and safety Will Hill to just another employee.

If this was any other situation, Hill would not have stayed as long as he did. If any other employee failed a third drug test, he would be gone, too.

"When you run a business, you have to be able to rely and depend on people to be there when you need them to perform their duties," Coughlin said just a few days after Hill was dismissed from the organization.

After Hill's departure came word that fellow defensive back Jayron Hosley failed a drug test and would be suspended for the first four games of the season.

"It's a sad day for both of those guys (Hill and Jayron Hosley) from my standpoint," Coughlin added. "The whole organization is disappointed that it went that way. But unfortunately, it was the right thing to do.

"If this is your job and you're willing to jeopardize your job for some other reason, than perhaps you don't have your mind and priorities where they should be in the first place."

Safety Antrel Rolle felt the same way. He mentored Hill and was there for each of his three failed drug tests. Rolle said he spoke with Hill after the suspension and tried to be encouraging. He was also realistic.

"I can't say it was a shocker, Will knew what kind of situation he put the Giants in," Rolle said. "At that point in time, you can't really depend on Will to help us out or really do anything for us if he gets suspended repeatedly, season after season after season. I spoke to Will, we've had several chats about this, and he's fully aware of what took place and what should have taken place.

"Every man needs to be held accountable for his own actions. It stung like hell. Will is like a little brother to me and he's a phenomenal player -- probably one of the most gifted players we have. But for him to keep moving in the wrong direction, it's not a good thing."

Rolle, speaking a day after Hosley also received a suspension for a substance abuse violation, was tired of the negative run the secondary had seen over the past week. With testing in its current structure, Rolle didn't seem to have any sympathy for players who failed.

"They know if they're going to be tested and when they're going to be tested. It's, like I said, too easy to do right to keep doing wrong," Rolle said. "That's something we don't need around here. We don't need that [publicity] -- fans asking me on Twitter, 'What is up with the secondary?' It's a bad reflection. It doesn't look good."
